@rd2rk @kduck @silverhead Thanks for your help! Figured it out!!!

Thanks @rd2rk and @silverhead! I had gotten that far, but now I can see the Presets on the bottom row, but nothing on the top and I can't figure out how to add the individual stomps to the top row of switches (either on HX Edit or on the unit directly). Any tips? Thanks for bearing with me and your patience! Z

I've been searching for an answer to this question, and have failed to find anything that directly addresses it.... I've owned an HD500x for a decade now, and just upgraded to a Helix. I've always used it so that the bottom row has my main presets (one bank would be A: Fender Clean, B: Mesa Crunchy C: Marshall High Gain D: Jazz Clean, for example), and the top row of each preset would give me access to 4 different stomps for each sound (A would have a phaser or reverb, but C might have Uni-vibe or delays). I'd like to have my Helix set up the same way, and I can't seem to figure it out! Also, I preferred in the past to do all of my editing using HX Edit on the computer rather than on the actual unit. Tips to approach it that way would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your help, guys!!!! Z

Because of the flimsy pin-connector of the power adaptor, this is the third time that someone has stepped on the end of the plug sticking out, and bent the connection point inside of the unit. Now I can no longer keep the HD500x powered up unless I hold the adaptor at just the right angle. Other than having the internal connector repaired (which I have done once, and it cost $150 because it has to be completely removed), has anyone found a good fix for this? Can the unit be modded to have a better power adaptor that is more sturdy? I'm almost ready just to give up and get a Helix since it has a much more professional power adaptor. Thoughts? Thanks! Z
